Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the red velvet rice pudding into individual serving dishes or a larger serving bowl.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for a cold dessert.
  8. Serve warm or chilled, with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a deeper red color, you can add a few more drops of red food coloring.
  • If the pudding becomes too thick, you can stir in a little more milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  • Feel free to adjust the sugar to your preference.
